Cool Re: V8 Crossfire by Startech

Startech/Brabus conversion prices here in the US are approximately $28K - $37K.

Weak sauce.....................you can make an SRT-6 outpower/outperform that(without adding all the front weight) for under $4,000.

It would've been nice if they had put an SL55 motor with upgraded pullies in it instead.

I don't like the tailpipes, or those dumb little spoilers. The rims aren't bad, but I prefer the stock ones. I'd love the extra kick, though. But not for so much cake.

The weight distribution is 55/45 f/r on the Xfire....would probably make the car as bad as a pickup truck to drive in the snow if you put the extra weight of a V-8 on the front axle.

FYI a long time ago Startech tried to sell me a built-up 4.0 liter 330ish hp NA engine for the NA Crossfire for about $40,000. Noooooooo thank-you.

You could buy 8 or 9 new Crossfires for the price of one with a 6.1 engine. That vehicle being offered by Startech sounds like something that should be only driven in a straight line for no more than a distance of a quarter mile. Just think about the average Crossfire taking approximately 15 seconds to reach 100 mph. The Startech version does it 10 seconds faster for only $182,000. Not quite what I would want to spend that kind of money on.

4.7 Seconds 0-60??? That isn't faster than an SRT-6. It's actually exactly the same. I see that car seeling for $75,000ish, but not almost triple that... Rip Off... A 6.1 Hemi Crate motor(which should work with our trannies is only about $10,000 with everything you need to run it...
